| 20130111843 | Surface Covering Tiles having an Edge Treatment for Assembly that Allows for Grouting - Surface covering tiles made using synthetic materials employ junction strips which enable the tiles to be connected to one another. The connections can be made with or without adhesive. When the tiles are connected, a space is left between adjacent decorative surfaces to permit the application of grout or simulated grout therein. When the tiles are used as floorcovering they can be used to make floating floors. As wall coverings, the tiles are adhered to the walls using conventional means. | 05-09-2013 |
| 20130098531 | PROCESS FOR MAKING ARTIFICIAL TURF FIBERS - A method of making a fiber for use in association with an artificial turf system, as well as an artificial turf system having such a fiber. The fiber is made by extruding a fiber, fibrillating the fiber, and storing the fiber, wherein the fiber is not cut longitudinally between the step of extruding the fiber and storing the fiber. After being extruded the fiber may be folded and wrapped with a wrapping yarn. | 04-25-2013 |
| 20120263892 | Fire Resistant Artificial Turf - An artificial turf system that includes a plurality of pellets in an infill disposed on a backing material and between individual synthetic fibers extending away from the backing material, wherein the pellets are a fire retardant material, for example, a salt, and more particularly an inorganic salt, encapsulated in a water insoluble material. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120263891 | REPAIRING SYNTHETIC TURF FIELD AND METHOD FOR REVITALIZING THE SAME - A repairable synthetic turf field having a plurality of phases of use and a method for revitalizing the same, the repairable synthetic turf including a plurality of synthetic fibers extending from a backing and having an infill interspersed between the synthetic fibers, the synthetic fibers having a portion extending above the infill forming a first field surface during a first phase of use, wherein at least a part of the portion of the synthetic fibers extending above the infill may be removed creating a second phase of use wherein a new portion of the synthetic fibers extends above the infill forming a second field surface. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120114942 | FIBER FOR SYNTHETIC GRASS FIELD - A filament for use in an artificial grass field, wherein the filament has a front and a back surface and at least one of the front surface and back surface includes a plurality of adjacent concave indentations extending generally from a first end to a second end. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20100300609 | METHOD TO PRODUCE A SURFACE COVERING - The present invention relates to a method to produce a polymeric sheet comprising the steps of providing an acid-based polymer, providing a neutralizing agent, the neutralizing agent being selected from the group consisting of an organic metallic compound, a metallic salt of a fatty acid, and an ionomer, or a mixture thereof, providing a processing oil, mixing said acid-based polymer, said neutralizing agent, said processing oil, to obtain a polymeric composition, and processing said polymeric composition to form a polymeric sheet. The polymeric sheet may be used as a component, or as a substrate, of a surface covering. The polymeric sheet may also be used to form polymeric particles which are component of so-called “homogenous”, or substrate-free, surface covering. | 12-02-2010 |
